Terms of Use

This page states the Terms of Use (“Terms”) under which you (“You”) may use the ShearShare Sites and the Services (each as defined below). These Terms include the ShearShare Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

These Terms constitute a binding agreement between You and ShearShare, Inc. or the ShearShare company operating the Web site for the country in which You live or in which business is headquartered (“ShearShare”), and are deemed accepted by You each time that You use or access any ShearShare Site or ShearShare Services. If You do not accept the Terms stated here, do not use the ShearShare Sites and the ShearShare Services.

The ShearShare Sites are defined as any Web sites under ShearShare’s control, whether partial or otherwise (including, without limitation, ShearShare.com, and the Web site from which these terms of use were accessed from) and include the ShearShare Services. The ShearShare Services are defined as the applications and services offered by ShearShare, including an on-line service to post and search salon and barbershop placement opportunities for salon and barbershop professionals to lease or rent temporary space in salons and barbershops owned by salon and barbershop professionals, and including any application accessed through the Facebook Platform and/or any mobile or other interface that allows You to access such application (collectively, “ShearShare Services”). The ShearShare Sites also include tools such as on-line communities and communication tools designed to facilitate valuable professional and personal networking (“ShearShare Networking”) among users of the ShearShare Sites (“Users”). The ShearShare Sites also allow Users to create individual profiles, which may include personal information (”Profiles”), and to make these Profiles, or aspects thereof, public. In addition, ShearShare may collect information about You from publicly-available websites and may use this information to create a Profile or append it to an existing Profile.

ShearShare may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to this Web page. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms because they are binding on You.

Users who violate these Terms may have their access and use of the ShearShare Sites suspended or terminated, at ShearShare’s discretion.

You must be 13 years of age or older to visit or use any ShearShare Site in any manner, and, if under the age of 18 or the age of majority as that is defined in Your jurisdiction, must use any ShearShare Site under the supervision of a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult.

Paying outside of ShearShare violates your user agreement and could result in legal action.

Making reservations or leasing space outside of ShearShare violates your user agreement and could result in you being removed from the ShearShare platform.

You may not use the ShearShare Content or Profiles to determine a consumer’s eligibility for: (a) credit or insurance for personal, family, or household purposes; (b) contracting; or (c) a government license or benefit.

8. SHEARSHARE’S LIABILITY

The ShearShare Sites act as, among other things, venues for (i) Users to post Site Lease opportunities and search for people to rent Site Lease sites and (ii) Users to post Site Lease Content and Profiles and search for and evaluate Site Lease possibilities. ShearShare does not screen or censor the listings, including Profiles offered. ShearShare is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between Users. As a result, ShearShare is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the Site Leases or Site Leases posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of Users to offer Site Lease opportunities or the ability of Users to fill Site Lease openings, and ShearShare makes no representations about any Site Leases or User Content on the ShearShare Sites. While ShearShare reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, Site Lease postings, ratings, or other material from the ShearShare Sites from time to time, ShearShare does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

ShearShare Networking provides a venue for individuals to network for professional and personal purposes and ShearShare does not screen or censor the Profiles or User Content on the ShearShare Sites. ShearShare is not involved in the actual communications between or among Users. As a result, ShearShare has no control over the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Profiles or User Content submitted on the ShearShare Sites and makes no representations about any Profile or User Content on the ShearShare Sites.

Note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons, or people acting under false pretenses.

By its very nature, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the ShearShare Sites.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, ShearShare cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in User-to-User dealings or control the behavior of participants on any ShearShare Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release ShearShare (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ShearShare makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any ShearShare Site or the ShearShare Content. The use of all ShearShare Sites and the ShearShare Content is at Your own risk. Changes are periodically made to ShearShare Sites and may be made at any time.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from ShearShare or through or from any ShearShare Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

If You are a California resident, You extend a release of claims to ShearShare and waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

ShearShare encourages You to keep a back-up copy of any of Your User Content. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall ShearShare be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorized modification of any User Content.

ShearShare does not provide or make any representation as to the quality or nature of any of the third party products or services purchased through any ShearShare Site, or any other representation, warranty or guaranty.

If You believe that something on the Site violates these Terms please contact our designated agent set forth in Section 6 above.

If notified of any content or other materials which allegedly do not conform to these Terms, ShearShare may in its sole discretion investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove or request the removal of the content. ShearShare has no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or nonperformance of such activities.
